@numericcitizen I'm going to 100% disagree with you about Visio, although I haven't used it since 2003. I spent many years helping to build that app and I'm very proud of the work we did. I could see if feeling strange if you're a died in the wool Mac person. I find OmniGraffle difficult to use because I expect it to behave like Visio. 😄 One other thing. Are you talking about the web version or the desktop version? Thanks!

@fahrni Visio is a standard in the IT field for diagramming. Ok, fine. But, how is Visio been evolving since 2003? You tell me. Web apps like diagrams.io (draw.io) or even better, LucidChart are multi-platforms, more powerful in their respective graphic toolbox. I know that Visio offers some programmatic diagramming via APIs but then what? Still no Visio for the Mac after all those years? Really? I'm out and using LucidChart is joy.

@numericcitizen a perfect example of wanting to move forward but having to cater for all of your legacy licences is the simple 'todo'. Dependent on where you set it up it could be an outlook task, a Microsoft task, or an exchange task - and apparently these are not thing.

@gregmorris you didn’t Planner which is apparently is becoming the low end of Project on the web… and no, assignments of tasks from within Word does not make them appear in Planner either… 🤷🏻‍♂️☹️

@numericcitizen Oh, don’t get me started on us not having a Mac version. There were a number of us who wanted that. We actually had a version running internally on Classic MacOS but it never saw the light of day. I wish I had some screenshots of it to share with you.

@fahrni but this was before Microsoft bought it, right?

@numericcitizen Way before. I wish we hadn’t abandoned the effort. We also had it running on PowerPC NT which never saw the light of day and I personally got it building and running on a DEC Alpha running NT. Nobody ever saw that but me. 😁
